Mercedes-Benz of Glasgow Support Colleague

Team Members at Mercedes-Benz of Glasgow have been raising awareness for the ‘We Need Everybody’ campaign, which seeks to raise awareness for organ donations.

The team have also been supporting their friend and Sales Executive colleague, Michael Hanlon, who has been on the urgent waiting list for a heart transplant since July 2016.

To raise awareness, the team at Mercedes-Benz of Glasgow stripped off for the local press and held fundraising activities, which included cream pie splattering and plunging feet into soup filled welly boots for the day. After all their efforts, the team successfully managed to raise over £2810, which will go towards Organ Donation causes.

Richard Helm, Used Car Sales Leader at Mercedes-Benz of Glasgow said: “Michael is a huge part of our team at Mercedes-Benz and staff and customers alike are hoping that the call he desperately needs comes soon."

“Today is about spreading the word about organ donation and encouraging as many people as possible to join the Register. Something that takes only two minutes could mean the world to someone waiting, like Michael.”
